I would think so, it’s all pointing to that from what you tell us….why not take a closer look at it?

Choice one is to risk more floods by removing the filter once more. But this time check that the pump Impellor behind the filter is free to rotate. Something could be stuck in the blades stopping it rotating…hence the humming noise!

Choice two is to give your local independent engineer in to sort it. Find one in our engineer search area. 😀

either way think im gonna get flooded martin lol
if the blades dont rotate does that mean something stuck ?

Yes something stuck in it will be visible, though torchlight might help. The 4 bladed Impellor must be free to rotate.
